Mobility Committee Meeting - Monday, May 6, 6:45pm
The rail has prompted our community and the Lindale Park Civic Club board to rethink priorities concerning issues facing our residents. In an effort to address these concerns in a more organized and prompt fashion we have created the LPCC Mobility Committee. The group’s main focus is to review and act on matters such as traffic flow, proper signage - speed limit enforcement, parking and safety related to this new phase in the Northside Villages growth.
The first official meeting of the group will be on Monday, May 6 from 6:45 pm - 8pm at the Lindale Park Clubhouse (218 Joyce).
The meetings will always be open to any and all outside guest and / or interested parties. We will vote collectively on how often to meet/time, then we can have a standing meeting in place. There are a lot of pieces to the pie, so it will be critical to take your part of the team participation seriously and to be sure to keep other members informed of issues and concerns. Our first meeting may go over an hour but I would encourage us to keep it to an hour on a regular basis.
Even if you can't attend the meetings - help us track traffic issues on the 311 Call Log. And check back often for updates from the Committee - we'e set up a new page on our website just for Mobility. Visit it at: /lp-mobility-committee.html
Goals / Purpose
· Establish groundwork for what goal is for committee
· Build To Do’s / How do we track progress
Outside Agencies
· Who do we need to bring to the table as part of this group
Participate in Heights Northside Mobility Study
Any other studies that will help us?
Rail – discuss safety, traffic and aesthetics related to newly added line
· Bring group up to date on current issues and steps being taken
· Northside Heights Mobility Study – purpose and benefits of staying connected

“Located Just east of the Heights and I-45, Lindale Park has plenty of large shade trees and 50 year old bungalows. The houses have "interesting architecture" --a key ingredient in starting a neighborhood gentrification boom, said Barbra Coffman of Coldwell Banker SwilleyHudson.”
